You shall be waiting at least six months yet. The devs have said that they plan a six month advertising program for the game, which will finish with the release. Therefore, when they start advertising again you can predict six months to release. If we assume that the advertising program will...

Expect news from and after E3.

I think it's simple. Valve borked it. Full stop. Now let's see if they can fix it.

Surely it can't be that hard to get the shadows right, but. Even NVIDIA's hardware shadows manage to produce the same effect without glitch in this manner.

Either you do know something, or you can copy and paste. I am discussing shadows going straight through static objects.

And you claim to know the way they are faking dynamic lights? Obviously not, for you would know that a shadow system is more than an algorithm but more like 10,000 algorithms as part of a section of code. That "inherent in the algorithm" story I think originated from these forums, but I can...

Oh my god, a lot of you people redefine the terms "idiots" and "fan boys". It is a bug in a game, a graphical glitch if you prefer. Valve should be notified about this, since it is apparent in media they have released. If the bug remains in the final, then it shows that they missed a bug...

Look at a third world country ad sometime and tell me that women are flawless with extremely large bosoms and perfectly symmetrical facial features. Or look at the ranks of the military, or even the police. Sometimes there is an individual female who can be deemed beautiful, but mostly the...

The uglier they make her, the more realistic the game is. Seriously, they are meant to be oppressed people in the middle of a war zone (or the instigators of the war, as the story may turn out). Hardened soldiers do not look like Supermodels!

Maybe he is a robot :naughty:

meh. Was working from memory.
